The company I work for is setting steel every day. We do a lot in the back country using a helicopter. All work is done dead and grounded off the pole. For the truck accessable poles, we do work them...

As was said before, check the other structures as well as transformers and all hardware that may be near by. If you have any services or open wire sec. with mid span taps don't forget to check the...

I quit FPL 2 years ago after 25 years with them, it was a good place to work. What are you talking about Geisha did a good job for them, she got the numbers down, got rid of any no loads, and put...

Mainline said it, it's the love of the job. You will have to give up some of the toy's for a while but you will recover. Here it is the middle of April and I am at 70, and it's not even storm season...

Sounds to me you are worried about the money not the PRIDE. If you want to be a Journeyman Power Lineman just do it. We all had to sacrafice something to do this, and it is the best career you could...

I was with fpl for 25 years, quit and moved to california over a year ago and still heard the same rumor from a good union source in fl. good luck remember the past and the cut's use your rolling...

I have a brand new buckingham backsaver belt D ring is 23 and a set of twisted offset hooks with pads. Just extra stuff I have around from when I was a AP Instructor (Someone that did'nt make it )....

As Rich says you will be out of a job only if you want to be. What's that tell ya. They will keep whatever or who ever they get, because they are short handed. You have no idea how many cable tv...

All the ones that hired in while I was working for them did the year and left. Most went to CA

S ED you said it, that's one of the reasons I left FPL and Florida. I can't stand the thought of them taking over our state, let alone our COUNTRY. It's bad when when they call the dispatcher for...

Wesco if I am on the wood for more than 2 hrs, If not I like Halls u just need to order 1 size wider than normal. comfortable from the start OK for ground work to. good luck

I have a Bashlin backsaver for sale. Only used one time. D-ring is 25. I orderd it when my other belt got stolen. No longer have a use for it. Tool holder and nut sack included. Still needs to be...

The things you say are the reasons I left FPL after 25 years, there is life after that place and it is MUCH better.

While I was working in florida the company put GPS in all our trucks. They said it was for truck maint. records and trouble call responce. BS, they like your company wanted to know our every move....

First question is do they work safe, will they look out for you and do they follow all the company safe work practice rules. #2 is are they productive, being a asshole is sometimes part of being a...

I had some FPL t-shirts but I used them to wash the truck. Sorry

Bad enough when the lineman in the bucket next to you is on the phone instead of watching or helping, but when your on the pole sticking and call for something, look down and the AP is BSing on the...

Don't care who try they blame, they are lying. (FPL) Fu@#ing people and loving it has been screwing the people and there employees for as long as I can remember. I know it's not long, I only worked...

Guess leaving FPL last march after 25 years was a good choice. Good luck to all that are still there.

I have Halls and Wesco, the halls are good for about 3 hrs. anything longer I wear the Wesco boots. If you want to spend the money one time get a pair of custom order Wesco's. They are worth the...

Johnbellamy, I see by your profile you like fishing, for what little boys. See you also like to hold Texans and you don't need to wear underwear when you don't have any BALLS to contain. If you would...

All good advice, listen to them. For 25 years I was pure OH, when I moved It took me awhile to adapt to the UG, even as a journeyman. Remember overhead for show, underground for DOE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

Actually, It will be 5000 your first full pay check and 4000 after your 6 mos.. Climbing is not as much as you may think and if you are going Metro to you will mostly be doing underground. Good luck,...
